DALLAS (1080 KRLD)- The State Fair of Texas is looking for some crafty creations. You can show off your talent from your own home. You can make face masks or create a masterpiece with chalk on the sidewalk.

Perhaps, nail art is your specialty. There's a contest for that, too. Also, there's a contest for a themed, decorated mantel or shelf.  When it comes to cooking, it's not about tasting the food this year.

Instead, the contests include: cake decorating, cookie decorating and a mini butter sculpture. The fair says all ages are welcome. Just submit your photo to creative.bigtex.com.This starts September 21st and it runs through October 4th.  Winners will be announced October 9th. 

“This year has presented a variety of ways to get creative – both in the way we hold contests and the contest offerings themselves,” said Kathy Bennett, director of creative arts and special events. “Whether participants have been competing in the Creative Arts contests for years or they are trying it out for the first time, these new contests offer an opportunity to express their creativity in so many ways.”
 
The new contests are divided into three categories: 2020 State Fair of Texas, “Celebrating Texas Icons”-themed, Big Tex-themed, and Texas-themed.
